Ex Lionheart Crusader '80 as reported by BBC News 

More people took part in this exercise than there now are in the British Army

This is 1984, this type of VW at 2.55 didn't exist until 1983

I was part of that as a regular soldier when I was based in Germany.

Took part in both Lionheart and Crusader. One thing we found, the closer to the IGB we got the more pleased the locals were to see us, they knew what was on the other side!

Crusader was 1980 Lionheart was 1984.....this is 1984 Lionheart.

The last years of GB having a pair, and an army to back it up when Ivan comes over to play.

The man with the broom will not be forgotten.

I was there. 1 SQN. HAC. The correspondent Christopher Wain talks about the Savesa (?) Gap being a choke point for invading orange forces. This was a name I heard a lot at the time, although I’ve never been able to find it on a map because I don’t know the spelling. Can anyone help?

10:28 WWII veterans marching. A rare sight now in 2022.

Having seen how the Russians are performing in Ukraine, I think we were a bit over concerned with the threat.
